Thumbs up Let's make your Browser Better



" If you run Firefox, you already know it's worlds faster than IE.

But you can tweak it and make it a lot faster still.

In the address bar, enter: "about:config" and hit enter (or press go)

You'll see a ton of settings. The three we care about here are:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
network.http.proxy.pipelining

Set them to

network.http.pipelining = True
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests = 30
network.http.proxy.pipelining = True


Do that, makes pages load a million times faster"

Firefox rocks...now if only my company would realize and write their webpages so they'll show correctly in somethings besides IE...we'd be all good..then I wouldn't have to use IE at work still sometimes...(and to think...I work for a company that calls themself a computer company....)
